Installation Guide

Fitting and removing frontplate

Locate top hooks on front plate

to top edge of module.

Lower front plate, locating

hooks on sides and bottom

edge.

Carefully insert a 4mm

screwdriver into the slots

provided along the bottom edge

of the frontplate.

Carefully twist the screwdriver

and lift the frontplate away

disengaging the snap ts.

Fitting the frontplate Removing the frontplate

Note:

1. A 2-Way switching installation may not work with a Mechanical 2-Way

Switch, if incorporating an electric powered indicator (e.g. LED or neon)

2. Additional neutral wire is required on certain load types and 2-Way

switching congurations.

3. The cable length between the two end point products must not exceed

40m, and the minimum cable size of 0.75mm².

4. When an Elements Electronic Dimmer is used as a 2-Way controlling device, both

device must be of the same type. Do not mix dierent dimmer types i.e. leading

edge and trailing edge.

For neutral connection to the Dimmer, refer to the specications for load types

that require a Neutral connection. If these loads are used without a Neutral

connection, the dimmer and lamp may not operate correctly.

For Mounting Boxes, the minimum depth required is 35mm. When using 2.5mm²

cables the minimum box depth required is 40mm.

Note:

When carrying out insulation resistance testing, rst disconnect the product.

Failing to do this could damage the product and could also give spurious

insulation readings.

Note:

Upon attaching new frontplate, the indication on the product may show erratic

operation i.e. rapid ashing. This is normal as the product is adapting the new

frontplate. This process may take up to 20 seconds.

Note:

In a single lamp installation it is recommended to connect neutral to the

electronic dimmer.

Installing the product

Installation & safety instructions

This product must be installed by a competent person (e.g. a qualied electrician) in

accordance with these instructions and the appropriate current national wiring

regulations. (e.g. the IEE Wiring Regulations BS 7671)

While working on any appliance, turn o the mains supply to make sure that

appliance is not live. Before changing a lamp or bulb ensure the electricity supply to

the lamp holder or light tting is o.

Do not use electric screwdrivers or power tools to tighten the product.

The mains supply to dimmer must be protected by a type ‘B’ or ‘C’ MCB with rating

not higher than 10A.

Before starting the appliance, make sure that all connections are as per the

instructions, the cables are not stressed and the terminals are fully tightened.

To prevent re hazard, do not exceed the rated load specied for the appliance.

Do not install the appliance in bathrooms, washrooms or any location subjected to

splashes of water, condensation or dampness.

How to install

To ensure safe installation, you must read all the installation & safety instructions

on page-1, and refer to the wiring diagrams on page-4.

Installation

1. Ensure the depth of the back box is correct for the product and that it is tted

securely to the wall.

2. Install the cables in the normal way and, using the xing screws supplied,

mount the product, still minus its frontplate, to the wall. It is important the

correct headed screws are used as any other may clash with the rear of the

frontplate.

3. Do not over tighten the screws, so as to prevent damage or distortion to the

product or support frame. Adjust so the frame or module sits squarely on the

wall.

4. Fit the frontplate as shown on page-3.

Refer to these wiring diagrams for 1-Way and 2-Way switching installations.

Elements Leading & Trailing Edge Dimmers can be controlled remotely by a

2-Way Mechanical Switch or an Elements Electronic Dimmer or Switch, if

connected to its control port by the existing 2-Way wiring in the installation.

ends appropriately.

Note:

1. Overload is indicated by the ring indicator ashing once every 3 seconds.

2. The Electronic Dimmer will resume normal operation once the overload is

removed, by switching o and on.

Soft start operation

When the Electronic Dimmer is switched on, light levels gradually reach the

desired level over a period of 1 to 3 seconds, greatly extending life expectancy of

lamps by avoiding initial power surge.

Overload protection

If the Electronic Dimmer is overloaded input to lamp(s) will be reduced (or

switched o if overload is severe) to protect the device and the installation.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Please clean the device with a dry and soft lint free cloth.

Do not use water or any abrasive solvent based or aerosol cleaners as this may

damage, discolor or aect the nish and safety of the appliance.

Features

Power failure recovery

In case of power failure, the dimmer will restore to its previous state upon

power restoration.

Minimum brightness adjustment

The User can adjust the minimum brightness level to suit their environment

and ensure optimum lamp performance. See User Guide for programming

details.

Troubleshooting

Unable to t frontplates to module

Please check if you are tting the correct frontplate to the correct module. The

frontplate must match the module exactly, e.g. 1 Gang Electronic Dimmer Frontplate

will only t a 1 Gang Electronic Dimmer Module. Please refer to the instructions for

tting and removing frontplates on page-3.

Connected Lamp does not turn ON or DIM

Firstly check the lamps have not expired.

Check connections and wiring to the device to ensure it has been

installed correctly.

Check the circuit, by inspecting other devices on the same circuit, to

ensure there is power input to the device.

Ring indicator ashes once every 3 seconds

This is indication of an overload. The Electronic Dimmer will resume normal

operation once the overload is removed, by switching o and on.

If you are facing a problem not listed here, please contact the MK technical team.

(Contact details are listed on the last page)

Notes:

1. Do not use loads of dierent types on the same circuit.

2. Not suitable for use with any other load type.

3. *Neutral connection is required. It is recommended to connect neutral whenever possible to

extend the load handling capability of the dimmer.
